Police Department Overdose Intervention
A Gosnold Recovery Specialist partners with a designated member of the local police department to reach out to and meet with each overdose victim and their family following a non-fatal overdose event. The goal is to proactively respond by offering treatment, support and education. Follow-up calls to the victim and family are made at one or two week intervals.
